The emerging interest for the Latin American music in Europe was one factor in the acceptance and music like this Chilean market as closed as the Scandinavian market, which until recently were only local artists and popular English-speaking. Méndez moved to Stockholm, Sweden, in 1986. He was raised in a modest family struggling to achieve a better future, sometimes getting in trouble while walking around immigrant slums. After joining a counseling institution called Fasta and meeting sound engineer Jordi Fuste, DJ Méndez started his career as a Latin rapper, making his live debut in a local festival. Mixing hip-hop and traditional Latin American rhythms, he was able to get a record deal in 1999, soon climbing charts in Sweden, Norway, Scandinavia, Denmark, Finland, and even Russia with his first hit “Chiki-Chiki”, featured in his debut album Latino for Life. In March 2001 he visited his native country, carrying out a successful promotional tour.
ADRENALINE
Mendez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Adrenaline is all you need baby
Ooeoh, ooeoh, ooeoh, ooeoh, ooeoh
Adrenaline is all you need baby
Cuando llegó El Salvador no hablo del país
Sino de mi emperador, creador,
Del ritmo latino del año dos mil
Dime quien la lleva
Can you feel it mami
Dime quien la entrega
Vacila que ahora llega
Tie me up, a mí,
Strike me down, seguro,
Knock me up, aquí,
Keep me bound (say what?)
Did you really think that
You could keep me down baby
Ooeoh I will provide it
Ooeoh to make you feel good
Ooeoh don't try to hide it
Adrenaline is all you need baby
Ooeoh I'm starred up your body
Ooeoh I and you hold me behood
Ooeoh no need to hide it
Adenaline is all you need baby
El efecto, empieza en los pies,
Sube a la cabeza o también al revés, ves
Rapidez se necesita, a lo mejor un poco excita
El mundo esta muy crazy
Y el efecto no termina
Pero aquí esta Méndez con la
Inyección de la adrenalina
Tie me up, a mí,
Strike me down, seguro,
Knock me up, aquí,
Keep me bound
Did you really think that
You could keep Méndez down baby
Ooeoh I will provide it
Ooeoh to make you feel good (oh)
Ooeo don't try to hide it
Adrenaline is all you need baby
Ooeoh I'm starred up your body (oh)
Ooeoh I and you hold me behood
Ooeoh no need to hide it
Adenaline is all you need baby
Si ya tu sabes baby quien la lleva
I give you adrenaline no hay problema
In fact I want to tell you al momento
Tu cuerpo en seguida sentirá caiga
Ooeoh I will provide it
Ooeoh to make you feel good
Ooeoh don't try to hide it
Adrenaline is all you need baby
Ooeoh I'm struck up your body
Ooeoh I and you hold me behood
Ooeoh no need to hide it
Adenaline is all you need baby
